Leaf newbie here. I just picked up a 2015 Leaf SL. It comes standard with 215/50R17
I'm looking at getting the Michelin Xi3 to stay sane during the winters in Toronto. Is there any issues with getting a size down? So that Xi3 - 205/55/R16 ?
I've read that a slightly downsized tire can actually be better in the snow, while also being a bit more affordable. Thoughts?
Whenever I look up tires that correspond with my model, SL, most sites only indicate to me R17 wheels. I just want to make sure before I pull the trigger that there won't be any issues with the R16 wheel. I assume it's the exact same engine/breaking system as the other trims so there shouldn't be an issue, but I just wanted to triple check.
Also is there a recommended basic steel wheel that fits the 2015 Nissan Leaf SL?
Thanks for any insights, much appreciated!
